There is a dream called football

After anxious waiting, Wenger finally got Li Qiao's diagnosis report.

"Strained cruciate ligament."

What Wenger fears most is a cruciate ligament tear, which would be very bad. Of course, a cruciate ligament strain is also bad, but it is still much better than a tear.

Wenger asked the team doctor, "How long will it take to recover from this injury?"

The team doctor shook his head, "It still depends on the recovery, it may only take a few months."

"possible?"

"A few months."

Wenger found himself in disbelief.

"Does surgery need to be performed?"

"If surgery is needed, I have made arrangements for it to be performed by the best sports medicine doctor in London. Let's wish Li Qiao the best."

The news of Li Qiao's injury not only affects the hearts of Arsenal fans, but also affects the hearts of countless Chinese fans, because this is the year of the Asian Cup, and the Chinese team's goal is to become the defending champion of the Asian Cup.

So Lippi immediately called and asked Li Qiao for details.

"A cruciate ligament strain, I can only say that the situation is a bit bad."

Lippi certainly knows the fragility of the cruciate ligament, and this kind of injury is the most difficult to recover from, so Lippi is already worried about the Asian Cup.

"I think the sports medicine rehabilitation level in the UK is still very high. You are very young. Maybe you will be fine in two months."

"Hopefully, head, I want to catch up with the Asian Cup."

"Don't worry, there will always be a place for you in my big list."

"Keep communicating with me. I hope to know your situation as soon as possible. Whether it is good news or bad news, I hope to get it as soon as possible."

"No problem, head."

Lorinda handed a washed apple to Li Qiao, "Eat an apple."

Li Qiao took it and put it aside.

"Worried about the surgery this afternoon?"

Li Qiao nodded.

Although the success rate of current surgeries is already very high, this is the first time I have suffered a serious injury, so I would be lying if I said I was not worried.

"I heard that Dr. Lim has performed surgeries on many high-level athletes. There should be no problems. Don't worry."

"What I'm worried about is not this, but the recovery. I don't know how long the recovery from this injury will be, but I have never been lying in bed unable to do anything."

Lorinda nodded, "I know, but don't worry, I'll be with you."

Lorinda could see the worry in Li Qiao's heart. It was the fear of his career. After all, no matter how high-level a player is, it is impossible to survive the impact of injuries. There should be only two enemies that can defeat an excellent athlete.

injuries and age.

"Li Qiao, look at me, don't worry, don't you still want to go to Manchester United? You can definitely realize your dream. Go to Manchester United and achieve a greater career."

In fact, this is also one of the issues that I worry about the most, that is, will being injured at this critical period affect my transfer to Manchester United?

Maybe!

It was a long 4 hours. Lorinda kept waiting outside the operating room and pacing. She also wanted to sit down, but she just couldn't. It was like there were thorns on the chair.

Finally, the lights in the operating room went out and the operation was completed. The doctor came out with a smile. Lorinda thought it should be pretty good.

"The operation process went very smoothly. We handled the news very well. We hope that our efforts will not affect Li Qiao's career. The next step is rest and then rehabilitation training. That is the most important thing."

*****

The days of recovery are a bit boring, in bed, in a wheelchair, and playing games. This is Li Qiao's life. His teammates come back to visit him and send him flowers and gifts, but this does not make Li Qiao happier at all.

This is the first time I know that injuries are so painful. No wonder many players give up football and retire early after being injured many times. Now Li Qiao can understand this feeling. It is really uncomfortable.

One day, while I was rowing around the room in my wheelchair out of boredom, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

A strange middle-aged man walked in. He looked very ordinary, not handsome, but okay.

"Did you go to the wrong room?" Li Qiao wondered. He had a pretty good memory, but the middle-aged man in front of him had no impression of him at all.

"Are you Li Qiao?"

"yes."

"Then I didn't go wrong. I came to find you. This is my business card."

Li Qiao took the business card and saw it said "Darren Ferguson."

Who is Darren Ferguson?

Li Qiao didn't know, but since the surname was Ferguson, could it be related to the one from Manchester United?

"Who are you Alex Ferguson?"

"my father."

Li Qiao was stunned, he turned out to be the old prince's son.

"Please take a seat."

"Need something to drink?"

Li Qiao paddled his wheelchair and was about to pour water for Ferguson. Darren stood up and said, "I'll do it myself."

"Haha, I am indeed in some inconvenience right now. It's really hard to be injured."

"No need to say more, I know this very well. Believe me, I have seen too many injuries, but many of them are nothing now. This is part of life."

Darren changed the topic far away, and Li Qiao also understood it tacitly, but he had a vague feeling that the old Sir Alex couldn't have sent him here just to chat with him. There should be some purpose, but if the other party didn't say it,

Then it’s hard to ask yourself.

Darren really went too far, even mentioning things from his childhood. Li Qiao was also made to laugh, but still, what on earth did this guy come for? Could it be that he really had good intentions and came to see him?

?

Darren may think that this is enough. After all, he is someone close to Sir Alex Ferguson and he has a lot of experience in dealing with players.

"Li Qiao, my father sent me here this time, mainly because he is very busy at work and can't live without you."

"I understand, please thank Sir Alex Ferguson on my behalf."

"I'll pass it on."

"Also, my father means to reassure you that his previous agreement with you will not change due to injury."

Li Qiao's heart skipped a beat. This should be the real purpose of Darren's visit this time, just to reassure himself. Thinking of this, Li Qiao actually felt warm in his heart. No wonder so many players are willing to risk their lives for Ferguson. Indeed.

He has a charismatic personality, and Ferguson's success is no accident.

"I am very grateful to Sir Alex for saying this to me at this time. I will get better as soon as possible. I hope I can work with your father next season."

"I'm also looking forward to it. In addition, I've asked the doctor about your situation. Although it's serious, there's no tear. This is very lucky. I think this kind of injury should be fine in three months. It just takes more time to return to the previous state."

Longer.”

Li Qiao knows that recovering from an injury and completely returning to his previous state are two different things. Everything takes time.
